Enabling the USB 3.0 Front Panel Connector

Forum Motherboards & Memory : Motherboards Enabling the USB 3.0 Front Panel Connector

I have a Phantom case with a USB 3.0 front panel connector, the connector is a 19 pin and my Asus Sabertooth X58 does not have that on board, so can I buy this:

and use this cable

http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-54 [...] 23&sr=1-12

to run out back of my pc (has good cable management) and into one of use USB 3.0 ports on the back of the motherboard to enable the front port?

Does anyone else have a better solution?
